The Silhouette Group Academy ushers in a whole new era of learning for eyecare professionals. The revolutionary training platform provides information and insights on essential skills for retail, business, and attracting new customers to help increase profitability and maximize the power of product display. It also raises technical product expertise for Silhouette’s premium products.


The Silhouette Group Academy is available via an app for tablets, smartphones, and as a desktop experience. This ensures that learning is possible at the convenience of the eyecare professional’s personal schedule. The innovative tool also allows users to schedule live and on-demand training tailored to specific needs.


In addition to learning, the platform is a place for direct engagement with both industry peers and the Silhouette team to build an ever-growing community of professionals. Quizzes, challenges, and battles not only promise rewards but also motivate each learner to reach new heights in professional growth.


As an added bonus for signing up, the Silhouette Group Academy is offering special summer incentives! Participating accounts can battle industry peers and earn rewards through the end of August. At the end of the summer challenge, the top achiever on the Academy will win a trip for their practice, up to four people, to witness a rocket launch on Cape Canaveral and an exclusive space center experience!


The Silhouette Group Academy is available throughout the US and will be rolled out in selected European markets within the year. For more information on the Academy, summer incentives, or to sign up, contact your Silhouette Account Executive.


About Silhouette


Founded in 1964, Silhouette is the global leader in premium rimless eyewear. In 1999, the family-operated company revolutionized the glasses industry with an innovative screwless, hingeless, and rimless model called Titan Minimal Art. This innovative design – made from start to finish in Austria and weighing only 1.8 grams – was unlike anything the world had ever seen. All Silhouette glasses are made from the highest quality materials using cutting-edge technology and the finest handcraftsmanship. Around 80% of the build is carried out by hand. This ensures the glasses deliver best-in-class comfort to a global market of more than 100 countries on five continents and in space. With 50 patents and over 100 design awards under its belt, Silhouette has a relentless commitment to quality: Over 100 quality control checks must be carried out before a single pair of glasses leaves its headquarters in Linz, Austria.
